Like.
If you're not reviewing the subclasses, you're not reviewing the class. Subclass design is now integral to the class design itself. This... -

Yeah, I have the same issue, the complaints about minor issues (like whole thing with Barbarians being able to stealth with rage) and...

Which is perfectly fine! The thing is, a player who is comfortable choosing a subclass from level 1 can still do that, they just won’t...

FrogReaver replied to the thread D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes.My critical analysis of the OP is that he nitpicks about too many things that just don’t really matter. I’m fairly certain I could find...

Love.
It doesn’t even have to be that you didn’t know until level 3. If you start at level 1, and you already know which Domain or which... -

I agree with your entire post but I do find it funny how Paladin and Ranger are considered casters or martials depending on who is...

It's very odd. Rage makes barbarians reckless, but if they need to sneak, they become very controlled and quiet. But still really angry...

I mean, that's the point, so barbarian is not pigeonholed into doigng one thing? Barbarian class was very criticised by the fact the...

Ron Edwards says (I know this sounds lame) in the Sim essay that exploration of the shared fiction must be sincere. To me that means you...

Do note that I consider it on a spectrum, and my view on 'System Matters' is that it's a big pressure but not the sole thing that...

FrogReaver reacted to Reynard's post in the thread What Does "Simulation" Mean To You? [+] with Like.

And this is why HP are not a sim tool: they change what they represent from moment to moment, monster to monster, encounter to...
